Total books for the year: 39 of 85. I wasn’t supposed to start any new books until I finished at least one of the books I’ve been reading for several months now. However, Spying on the South came highly recommended, and since it was published about a year ago, I decided not to wait. It also fits in with the “Literature of the American Renaissance” class I’ve been taking, since it’s about the travels and writings of Frederick Olmstead shortly before the Civil War.

Total books for the year: 39 of 85. I finished The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes on Memorial Day as I thought I would. Since then, I’ve focused on Magician: Apprentice, except for when I was listening to The Book of Candlelight.

Total books for the year: 37 of 85. Everything else I’ve been reading was automatically put on hold after I received my copy of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes in the mail. I’m about two-thirds through, and I will probably finish it today, especially since it’s Memorial Day, and I stay off social media on this day.

Total books for the year: 37 of 85. I had a successful #BoutofBooks! All of the books I finished were for the online classes I’m taking. I’m probably going to take a break from reading assignments this week, and get back to the other books I’ve been neglecting.

I read about a third of The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald and a bit of Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman.
While I didn’t read as much as I did during the last Bout of Books, this was still a successful readathon for me. I’m looking forward to Bout of Books 29 in August!

I finished Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne. I intended on starting The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald for one class, and Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman for the other, but I didn’t get passed the introductions for either before I went to bed. I’ll be dipping into both of those throughout today, but I know I won’t get anywhere near the end of either by tomorrow.
